My mrs was really bad before christmas , doc gave her anti-biotics and whatnot but she felt drained to the point of exhaustion . Doc told her to get herself a bottle of Metatone while she was at the chemist . Apparently they sell it in tesco's and asda and whatnot aswell . From what shes told me about it i've been wanting a bottle myself ever since , its just a booster tonic but from what the mrs says a spoon full could put Elvis back in business !
Hope this helps .

Thanks all for the well wishes. I'm still in hospital having had 8l to date of fluid pumped into me. I'm feeling much "stronger" today but still very coldly.
I managed to pickup a viral infection somewhere and the combination of me not getting enough fluid and food in as all I was doing was passing it out just as fast meant I just got weaker and weaker and it was dehydration that got the better of me in the end.
Those who have met me will know I'm slight of build being 6.2 and only 88kg. Well I managed to loose 10% of my weight in 4 days which in its self should have alerted me to a problem.
Some very kind people have sent me a few Pm's concerned about the tingling I was experiencing and I have had a neurosurgeon take a look and all is well. It was the first thing that ran through my mind when I was lying on the floor unable to move my hands and mouth but it was the continued short sharp breathing that was in effect causing hypoxemia.
Or in laymans terms too much carbon dioxide in my body which can cause you to faint and the first signs where the tingling. As soon as my fever was under control I could then control my breathing and the tingling went.
in a way I guess it's a bit like hypothermia only on the ground and not in the water thank god.
fingers crossed I'm home tomorrow but only time will tell.
Will keep those who are interested posted and thanks again for all the well wishes as its times like these with no family around to help and a one year old you really find out who your good friends are.

Hi mate
Really sorry to hear about this. Getting older is a horrible process! Hope you get back on the mend soon.

Gettin older aint all bad , now i can say "i would have done that with my eyes closed when i was a lad" and walk away unscathed .
When i was younger i'd be halfway up everest in my underpants carrying a sack of coal and cursing myself for not keeping my mouth shut !

All the best, Warren - hope your recovery is quick! I'm sure you wouldn't feel so cold if you were back home (yawn, another 30 deg day here
) - although if you collapsed in a hospital here, you'd probably still be lying where you fell

Glad you're feeling better Warren. 
Slight of build? Well, that must be compared to your other countrymen then !!
According to the NHS, 88kg for a 6'2" fella is well within the "Healthy" limits, if anything verging on the "overweight".
